About the speaker

💖 Abby Damen (she/her) 💖
Abby is a coordination ninja with a bizarrely broad set of talents ranging from voice over artist and actress to copywriter and marketing director. While she wishes she could focus on being good at one thing, she is happiest when diving head first into a new hobby like skating, gardening or not surprisingly – learning how to dance.
💖 Clair Thomas (she/her) 💖
Clair enjoys being blissfully average. Soaking up the simple things in life and keeping her small humans happy/fed each day. Helping other average dancers feel less alone and professional is her favourite pastime. Will never say no to a burger or a cheeky beer, raised in East London/Essex still learning all the things it takes to be a Kiwi.
💖 Lesa MacLeod-Whiting (she/her) 💖
Easily distracted and lil' bit ambitious, Lesa is brimming with new/weird perspectives, inspired by years abroad. When she's not trying to grow Shut Up & Dance, she moonlights as a comedian, writer and improviser (oh, and as a mum). A recent scientific study found that Lesa is made up of 76% pasta.
